I'm 45. Am I too old to wear these Frye boots?

That is exactly the look I'm going for -- thank you!

You might not be wearing them over skinny jeans if you are 80, but I think they'd still look nice under boot cut or straight jeans or slacks.

Agreed. It's kind of low-heel, no-sex-appeal look. So, why even ask if it's age appropriate? I would only caution that Frye does not come in wide sizes. If you have wide feet, it will hurt no matter how much it is "broken in".

Go back to Romper Room, kid. You don't have a clue.

+1 I'm 60+ and would wear them with jeans and a jacket. Not trying to look 40 but don't think I'm too old for this look either. FWIW, I don't tuck my jeans inside the boots!

All so true!! Continuing to exercise and being lucky in the health department helps, too!

You're so right! The second a woman turns 40 she needs to put on her "I give up dress," a pair of clogs, and stop being visible to society. Pray tell, what do you think a woman in her 40s should wear?

If I wear short boots with straight jeans, do I tuck the jeans into the boots? Roll the jeans up to the top of the boots? Ugh, as I'm typing this, I think I know the answer. No short boots, right?

I posted the Annas, and I wear them with skinnies. Are you sure you can't wear skinnies? I thought I couldn't, too, but then I tried some on a few years ago and never looked back. Hard for me to see them with straight jeans, but you could go to the Frye store in Gtown and try.

No matter how old you are, classically styled well made boots will always look good no matter how old you are. Been a designer for the past thirty years.....if you dress old, you will look old. If you dress in timeless classics, you will rock it however old you are. Age is just a number! Xx

Why are you reviving a nearly 4 year old thread with a dead link?

Do you still have feet? Do you still walk? If so, then not too old. Please.

Enjoy ! I’m older than you and I wear several Frye boots!
